Not sure if I have a title that works but, here goes. I have a 250SSD GB main drive with operating system and a 500GB SSD that has my games in this case DCS. DCS stores files in the user file on C drive and main game runs off FG drive the loading of game is slow but works ok when it is loaded. Would I benefit in having both user file and main game file on the same drive. If yes can user file be moved to F drive or, would I need to get a larger SSD and move operating system to it and also install game files on that drive. I know next to or less than nothing about these things

Separating the data between two drives shouldn't make a difference in performance. It can make a difference to have the game load off of the drive with faster read speeds and random access times. Keeping the game on a different drive from the OS is good for load times.
